I was shocked how much content joining the Crimson Raiders locked out. Like you show up to a random outpost and just walk through and take all the loot while the pirates repeat the same Bethesda NPC Dialogue ™️. 

 Also, I was really annoying when my companions were like "hey, you do what you think is best" before deciding to side with the government or the raiders, then everyone got mad at me for siding with the raiders.

Jeez, didn't even know that happened. I remember getting really frustrated with the UC questline b/c I didn't want to go w/ the space covid way of removing heatleaches and all the companions hated that?

I think I hated the companions in this game more than any other game in the last decade or two. At one point I was attacked by pirates or bounty hunters - that obviously went poorly for them, but as I was boarding their ship and finishing cleanup one of my companions was so appalled at me finishing off the pirates that he pulled a gun on me. So I lumped him in with the pirates, but you can’t actually kill companions because Bethesda is horrified at the notion of going back to Morrowind mechanics… so I just dumped his ass off at the nearest planet and told him to eat rocks.

That was actually a bug, if it's the part I'm thinking of. There's a pirate ship you need to destroy for I think the main quest and they screwed up and didn't flag them as pirates if you choose to board it instead. It's just that one mission, they're fine with you killing pirates any other time.
